“A beautiful narrative that shapes the maternal lineage for a granddaughter the author has yet to meet, From Collards to Callaloo is poetry, history, and memory. This is a treasure for young and old, as its pages bring together generations who cannot share physical space.”
JANAKA LEWIS Ph.D
Director; Women and Gender Studies Program, UNC Charlotte

This book aches and pulsates, a warm explosion of dammed up love. When you put this down, you will feel you have a stake in this relationship and you will pray that one day Me-Ma will be with her Assata.”
